The Pittsburgh Steelers enter their Week 9 bye week sitting atop the AFC North division, according to a roundup of NFL power rankings published Tuesday.
Multiple ranking outlets place Pittsburgh at the top of the division after their performance through the first eight weeks of the 2026 season. The Steelers will use the bye to rest and prepare for the second half of the campaign.
The power rankings roundup, compiled by SB Nation's Joey Bray, aggregates several national polls to provide a consensus view of where each team stands heading into the midseason break.
